169: The Truth About Mental Health Tech Companies with Megan Cornish
How can you protect your practice in a mental health tech landscape that doesn’t always have your best interests at heart? In this episode, I’m joined by Megan Cornish, a social worker turned writer, for a powerful conversation about the realities therapists face when working with large mental health platforms.
Megan shares her own journey out of community mental health and into writing, and together we dig into how these platforms can undervalue clinicians while prioritizing profit. We talk about the venture capital model and the ways it can exploit therapists—and just as importantly, what you can do to protect yourself. Megan offers thoughtful, practical strategies to help therapists stay grounded and strategic in a shifting industry.
If you’ve felt uneasy about the rise of mental health tech or unsure how to navigate it while staying true to your values, this episode will help you feel more informed and empowered.
